In-Use Mobile Agricultural Equipment Regulation
This page last reviewed July 14, 2011
Background:
In the 2007 State Implementation Plan, ARB committed to
developing a control measure to reduce emissions from In-Use
Agricultural
Equipment and currently plan to develop and bring this measure to the
Board in 2013. The goal of a proposed measure would be to accelerate
fleet turnover to
equipment with engines meeting cleaner NOx and PM standards.
ARB staff plan to consider measures to reduce emissions
from Ag off-road tractors and other mobile equipment in the future.
ARB has no proposal available at this time for these planned
regulations to
reduce diesel particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
emissions from agricultural in-use (existing) off-road mobile equipment
in California. These future regulations would address strategies for
exhaust control technology and the accelerated replacement of 25 or
greater HP used in agricultural operations. If you wish to receive
